Communication

How 9 Enneagram types perceive communication

Communication and the Enneagram

Eighty percent or more of communication is not the words we use, but the patterns of our speech and the non-verbal ways we communicate. But communication is a 2-way street between the communicator and the listener, and communication always exists and is interpreted within a context – for example, the culture of the organization, region, or country; the tacit or explicit hierarchical structure; and the history of the individuals involved.

The Enneagram’s communication application allows you to understand how communication styles develop from Enneagram types, with both strengths but also unintended distortions in both the sender and the receiver of communication. Even more, the Enneagram helps honor our communication strengths and minimize our communication distortions in order to be understood and to understand others more accurately.

Find out about the communication strengths, challenges and development tips for each Enneagram type.
